Attention, opponents of President Bush: Have you noticed how easily the new president has broken his promises and shifted his views, both in tone and substance?

Let's look at President Barack Obama's first 100 days. They show broken promises on war, spending and good government. He said he would refuse to appoint lobbyists to his administration and then picked several for top jobs.

Obama said there would be a strong system of checks and balances and vetoing of wasteful congressional earmarks, or "pork," and then signed a multi-million dollar spending bill full of pork! Where are the promised changes?

He picked people for cabinet posts who had tax issues, and known lobbyists for deputy cabinet posts. As far as I'm concerned, it is just Washington politics as usual. So much for promised change!
Obama's Iraq policy -- are you ready for this "Bushwhackers?" -- is the same as Bush's policy: selective withdrawal of troops over a period of time, leaving a ground force of sufficient strength to help keep and enforce the peace until the end of 2011. What happened to Obama's promise to remove all combat troops from Iraq 16 months after taking office?

Obama promised to put our nation on a path to fiscal responsibility and instead proposed a budget that some experts claim would double the national debt over the next five years and triple it in 10 years.

Bush opponents blame him for the current financial crisis and, yet, Obama's budget raises the debt level higher than it has ever been in American history. But, then, I realize that the "Bushwhackers" are probably getting ready to blame the outbreak of swine flu on George W. Bush. What else is new?

Obama has met with some world leaders you just shouldn't play footsie with -- and offered them a change in U.S. outlook. Yet, we know these leaders just don't want to beat us, they intend to destroy us if given the chance -- and we hope Obama has kept that in mind.

As I've stated before, he is our president and I look forward to his doing the right things to steer our nation on a steady course. He has my respect and loyalty even after all of the above. However, I will continue to tell it as I see it. God Bless America!
